It is sad the the CC's (what...maybe 5-8 people) continue to haunt and disgrace our town. I am sure that the majority of Summerfield totally disagree with their opinions.....where are you? We need more people speaking our against them. I am ashamed everytime I attend council meetings. If the CC's elect anyone else to council......we need to look at the slack Summerfield citizens who do not get out and VOTE!!!!
I am new to the Forum...and may at times...be very vocal.

| It is very sad that I speak with many people in Summefield who voice their opinions....but when I ask them if they voted they shrink and say "no" ... "I thought others would take care of that for me". I have no patience or respect for these people. It only takes about 10 minutes of your time to vote. If these people had taken these few minutes, BS & DW would not be in office. The CC's were rabid in the last election and they turned out in their numbers. Summerfield failed miserably in the fight against CC's. If you think your vote doesn't count or matter....think again! Last edited on Dec 1st, 2006 01:36 am by parklover

Summerfield citizens will continue to be heard. So “if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

That was a great find, Pappy! Seems that BS is contradicting herself more and more as time goes on. I got my NWO today and Sandra wrote a great article about the 2 parcels of ball field property that the town is looking at.
Sandra pointed out that BS was pushing for that 220 property at the November TC meeting, however, at a previous meeting she was "adamantly" opposed to that same parcel and wouldn't want HER kids playing there.
I reckon as long as our kids aren't playin' in her "backyard" she doesn't really care where they play.
oh, and WELCOME to the forum Parklover!!!!

| Welcome Parklover !!! We will always have people who disagree with what is right for Summerfield. But, why do the CC's have to disagree with everything?!! Hard facts, Surveys, and Public Workshops all come to the same answers yet the CC's still disagree. Professional people have done this last survey and put on a great workshop and this all got discounted as less than professional by Ms. Dunham during the SPARCS meeting Tuesday night. Stating that the survey that UNCG done PROFESSIONALLY had a different outcome than the current survey. 10 minutes prior to her arrival, we had just discussed with Hannah (that's who put on the workshop and survey) how the outcome of both were similar. This was to be a proactive meeting, not a place to voice an opinion on what the CC's want or don't want. Ranting over a 4 million dollar amphitheater (where did that $ come from) and trying to hide from everyone or keep secret to what just a select few want in the park. Then accusing me of writing that I wanted to run her down here on the Forum. I never did that. I apologise to everyone at the meeting for getting loud but, It was long over due. The badgering and asking questions without waiting for an answer or answering it yourself in sarcasm is just plain rude .

Gosh I'm fallin' down on my job! I forgot to mention that this 4 million dollar number was spouted repeatedly at the meeting the other night. Amazing that the 2 million dollar amphitheater has now become a 4 million dollar amphitheater...... Do they just make these numbers up???? (rhetorical question, naturally)
George is sure gonna be an even bigger hero when he saves us all those millions it's gonna cost to build that thing.

It was an ODD outburst. Mom asked why we didn't tell the truth about what it was going to cost. Obviously she thinks we are way smarter than we are, in that, we paid for the park master plan and costs as a town because nobody in the Town had the expertise to do it themselves. We can only quote the costs that are reflected in the very master plan that she claims says 4 million dollars. My copy only says 2.2 million dollars I think it is certainly not 4 million dollars.
Out of the 150 or so surveys done by PCog there were two " don't do anything" comments the rest of the surveys were very much in favor of more walking trails, bark park, ampitheater. The PCOG foks though 150 were a good turn out. Here again no real opposition to the park.
We are a democracy. Those that vote are those that get to decide!!

| The sad thing is that most people don't take the time to find out the truth and when a mailing or a piece of paper sitting on a table at a council meeting says the amphitheatre is going to cost 2.2 million then that is what they believe. I think that not only the citizens of Summerfield but the other members of the town council are going to have to start standing up to this negative concerned citizen group. Enough is enough.

Hairbrush, Although I'm not a Summerfield resident (I live in Madison, remember?) I can tell you that, as an outsider, I've thought for a long time that the other Council members are putting up with a lot more than most folks would.....

Hairbrush - You hit the nail on the head - the other council members do need to stand up. Originally I think all of us were stunned and maybe a little intimidated at the aggressive (and rude) tactics of the CCs. Now it's time for council members who oppose the CCs positions to be agressive (but not rude) advocates for what I think is the majority of the citizens of Summerfield.

| Saltydog I totally agree. I know that the other council members can get the point across without rudeness. They have shown class and restraint, but I think the time has come for them to stand together against the rest of the concerned citizens.

| Do you think people have been communicating with the other Council members to let them know they have their support? Do you think they KNOW how few people really share the views of the CC's?? That might help bolster their resolve to stand up to the two on Council..... Just a thought....
